Destined with You

Beginning was good, but series lacks to show that people learn from their mistakes. It potrayed the female character as the dumbest person who gets into problem as she does same mistake again and again. Going to meet the psycho devil alone is not what a smart person or a brave person. Same way she opened the door in the previous episode which portrayed how dumb she is who didn't think before doing so.

Story is good but somehow it portrayed the main character as the most dumb person.

Actors are good acting is good.

Even the dumbest person would not open door when they are already aware of the issues.

It doesn't show her brave or strong character. It's dumb.

There are some issues as others point out more eloquently with the filming and the plot/continuity being a bit all over the place, but at the same time the drama is really enjoyable and has lots of nice scenes, be it funny, romantic or just beautiful. The interaction between the leads is good, it's like they have they own funny (bickering) language, and also FL is a great ar counteracting the ML in a way that it is clear that she cares for him but not is also not a pushover, makes him go through a character development. By contrast it can then seem that the FL is not going through as much character development but I think she is getting more mature in love too.

Brilliant drama with great acting all around. The red hand sequence is truly scary and Rowoon did a marvelous job portraying a man who is cursed. The cinematography and directing and the OST at the end of Episode 1 are all exceptionally made. The bickering between the main leads are funny. I think all cast come with great chemistry. Boah and Rowoon showed how comfortable they were on sets, and this translates into their acting. So far we only have two episodes. The ending of episode 2 shows how Rowoon is a great actor. The boy delivers in his acting time and time again. This time he showed more maturity and excellence. He is meant for great heights! Congratulations to the team. DWY is number 1 in 15 countries just with 1 episode airing on Netflix. That's a tremondous feat.

Kim Ra Woon makes this series with not only his handsomeness but his good vibes and brings romance and happiness to the drama. The FL seems to have decent chemistry in her role as well. A reincarnation themed fantasy where they have had a 300 year relationship includes some historical scenes and great costuming into the drama. The side story of the co- worker downstairs was good as well as the mayors daughter to bring in tension to the love story is good but not so sure about the comedic older couple side story. Great ending and glad they spent enough time on it. Romantic and happy brought by the ML.

Critically speaking the series deserve 5/10. The flow of story is pretty random, story itself was weak. I liked the costume design though.

But the reason I gave it 9/10 is simply because this series was not meant for critical assessment. The whole intention was to make the audience take the back seat, turn off cynicism and just enjoy. I would say it was successful in making me feel what it intended to- Romantic!

The chemistry between Hung-Jo and Sinyu was critically lame, yet non-critically adorable, funny and cute. Actor Rowoon and Bo-ah were perfect together. Specially Rowoon showed his acting prowess. He gives brilliant yet subtle facial expressions. I watched him on "she would never know" and "the king's affection" and I hope he thinks about acting in movies, and on more serious script. He displayed a lot of potential, and can be something really big and global. Bo-ah is the the cutest, I felt like squeezing her cheeks, haha. Hope to see this pair again.
